In 2001, many Japanese observers saw a Leonid meteor storm on November 18 UT. During this event, although the parent comet (55P/Tempel-Tuttle) has passed three years ago, many fireballs, trails, and meteors were observed. The maximum of Leonids activity was a HR of 2300 and a ZHR of 4500 around 18h10m UT on November 18. The Leonids peak in 2001 was very flat. Therefore, the high activity lasted for a long time. We also analyzed ZHRs per magnitude class. We found that the ZHR for fireballs of magnitude -2 or brighter was nearly constant. So, no increase of fireballs was seen because of the encounter of the various dust trails.
